Rottweiler – $4,000

The Rottweiler is a sturdy, large, and intelligent breed of dog that is unfairly the victim of a smear campaign. While it is true that Rottweilers are statistically more aggressive, that is due to bad owners taking advantage of the breed’s wonderful genetic dispositions. Rottweilers are fiercely intelligent, loyal to a fault, and hard workers. You can train a Rottweiler for a variety of actual jobs: from police dog to therapy dog, and you’ll never find a more loyal friend in life. These dogs need room to stretch their legs, however, so keep that in mind.

Akita – $4,500

Asia has found quite the way to gain our list and one of their most impressive breeds is the Akita. The Akita, pure bred, can be bought for around $4,500 from a breeder. These dogs are natives of the northern region of Japan, hailing typically from the mountains. When looking at Akita you have to realize that there are really two different kinds. There is the Akita Ken and the Akita. The Akita Ken is the Japanese strain of the dog, consisting of only a few colors in their coat. The American breed of Akita tends not to worry so much about having a specific color. They are large dogs with powerful jaws and a sturdy torso. Akita are typically aloof but they are loyal and loving to the bone with their family members. While not the most iconic breed of dog in the world, Akita’s are directly tied to their country of origin: Japan.
